Intentions Over Resolutions: Designing a Year That Feels Right

"When you focus on how you want to feel, everything else falls into place."

- Danielle LaPorte

Think back to the start of this year. Did you set a list of resolutions? Maybe some of them stuck, and maybe others quietly fell by the wayside.

Now, ask yourself: Were those resolutions truly about you? Or were they a reaction to external pressures—to do more, achieve more, or keep pace with someone else’s idea of success?

Every December, we’re bombarded with the pressure to set ambitious New Year’s resolutions: hit the gym, grow your business, learn a new skill.

Yet, studies show that most resolutions are abandoned by February. Why Because they’re focused on doing rather than being.

Here’s the truth: chasing goals disconnected from your inner values is like climbing a ladder only to realize it’s leaning against the wrong wall. That’s why this year, I’m inviting you to take a different approach.

Intentions Over Resolutions

Imagine you’ve been climbing a ladder all year, striving toward the next milestone. But when you reach the top, you pause, look around, and realize it wasn’t the view you were hoping for.

That’s what resolutions can feel like when they’re disconnected from your deeper values and desires. They push you to do more without considering why. Intentions, on the other hand, act as a compass—they guide your actions based on how you want to feel and who you want to become.

One of my clients shared how she used to set aggressive resolutions every January: hit specific revenue targets, double her client base, and scale her business. But even when she met those goals, she felt unfulfilled and burnt out.

When we shifted her focus to intentions, everything changed. Instead of “double my revenue,” her intention became, “Grow my business in a way that allows me to feel energized and connected to my clients.” The results? She achieved her goals and found joy in the process because her actions were aligned with her values.

Here’s the key difference:

Resolutions are results-driven: They ask, “What do I want to accomplish?”
Intentions are values-driven: They ask, “Who do I want to become? How do I want to feel?”

When you anchor your year in intentions, every decision and action becomes purposeful, leading to a sense of fulfillment that lasts far beyond the first few months.

Pause & Reflect

To start designing your year with intention, reflect on these questions:

What are three words that describe how you want to feel in 2025?hat are three words that describe how you wish to feel in 2025?
What’s one area of your life where you’ve been chasing goals that don’t feel aligned?

As the year comes to a close, this is the perfect time to pause and ask: Am I climbing the right ladder?
